Definitions

  • FIG. 1 is a front view of a refrigerator according to an exemplary embodiment as broadly described herein;
  • FIG. 6 is illustrates a locked state of the locker of the basket frame shown in FIGs. 3 and 4 ;
  • FIGs. 11 to 13 are plan views of couplers of the door basket and the partition plate shown in FIGs. 9 and 10 , according to an embodiment as broadly described herein.
  • the refrigerator 10 may include doors 20 for opening or closing the freezing compartment 32 and refrigerating compartment 22, respectively.
  • Each door 20 may be pivotally mounted to the body of the refrigerator 10 at one end thereof by hinges.
  • Each door 20 may include a plurality of doors. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 , each door 20 may be configured such that it opens forward while being pivotally moved about opposite lateral edges of the refrigerator 10.
  • a barrier 16 may be positioned between the freezing compartment 32 and the refrigerating compartment 22, to partition the freezing compartment 32 and refrigerating compartment 22.
  • the barrier 16 may be formed at the inner case 14 such that it has a certain thickness.
  • the barrier 16 may extend horizontally to vertically partition the freezing compartment 32 and refrigerating compartment 22 such that the freezing compartment 32 and refrigerating compartment 22 are disposed below and above the barrier 16, respectively.
  • FIGs. 1 and 2 there is no partition wall installed in the refrigerating compartment 22 to laterally partition the refrigerating compartment 22.
  • a partition wall may be installed in the refrigerating compartment 22, as in the freezing compartment 32.
  • the baskets may be classified into three kinds of baskets.
  • the basket 300 may store relatively thin items, such as, for example, beverages stored in bottles or other items contained in tubular containers, which may be positioned vertically upright in multiple layers from an inside to an outside of the basket 300, and which may be separable to allow items stored in the inside of the basket 300 to be easily taken out.
  • the basket 350 may be a sealable or closeable basket for storing, for example, vegetables.
  • the basket 400 may be a relatively large-capacity basket, and may have a variable storage capacity.
  • the user may pivot the basket frame 330 about the hinges as shown in FIG. 4 such that the first baskets 340 are spaced apart from the second baskets 345, thereby exposing the second baskets 345.
  • the basket frame 330 When the basket frame 330 is open, access to the second baskets 345 may be enhanced.
  • the second baskets 345 may be used to store lower frequency items than those stored in the first baskets 340.
  • the basket frame 330 may be selectively fixed to the door 20 by a locker 335 provided at a position opposite the hinges coupling the basket frame 330 to the door 20, to prevent the basket frame 330 from unintentional pivoting.
  • the hook 337 may be coupled, at one end thereof, to the lever 336. As the lever 336 rotates, the other end of the hook 337 may be engaged with a locking groove 338 provided at the door 20, thereby fixing the basket from 330 to the door 20 and preventing the basket frame 330 from rotating. To open the basket frame 330, the user may pivot the lever 336 in a direction opposite to a locking direction such that the end of the hook 337 is disengaged from the locking groove 338 of the door 20, releasing the basket frame 330 from the door 20 and allowing movement of the basket frame 330.
  • each first basket 340 which are coupled to the basket frame 330, may be formed integrally with the basket frame 330.
  • each first basket 340 may be a separable basket, such as, for example, the basket 300, which is separably coupled to a door rack 310, as shown in FIG. 7 .
  • Each door rack 310 may protrude from the inner surface of the door 20 and have a flat plate shape to allow an article to be stored thereon. However, as the door rack 310 has an opened periphery, the article stored on the door rack 310 may fall when the door 20 is moved.
  • the separable basket 300 When the separable basket 300 is positioned on the door rack 310, it may be unintentionally separated from the door rack 310 during opening or closing of the door 20. To this end, a holder may be provided to prevent unintentional separation of the separable basket 300 from the door rack 310.
  • first and second protrusion/groove structures 301 and 311 may be coupled in accordance with engagement between protrusions and grooves, and may resist horizontal force applied thereto during opening or closing of the door 20 to maintain the separable basket 300 in position on the door rack 310.
  • first and second protrusion/groove structures 301 and 311 may not necessarily each include both the groove and the protrusion.
  • one of the first or second protrusion/groove structure 301/311 may include a groove
  • the other of the first or second protrusion/groove structure 301/311 may include a protrusion to be fitted in the groove.
  • Such an arrangement may resist lateral force in accordance with engagement between the groove and the protrusion and maintain coupling the separable basket 300 and the door rack 310, irrespective of opening or closing of the door 20.
  • engagable protrusions and grooves may be formed at other locations in addition to or instead of the periphery as shown.
  • the partition plate 320 When the partition plate 320 is made of a hard/rigid material such as plastic, it may be difficult to accommodate an item having a large size, thus reducing the storage capacity of the basket 315 due to the partition plate 320. However, when the partition plate 320 is made of a flexible material, items having various sizes may be accommodated in the basket 315 because the partition plate 320 is deformable in response to the sizes and shapes of the stored items. The flexible partition plate 320 may also provide for easy arrangement of the storage items in the basket 315.
  • the partition plate 320 may be installed at a middle portion of the basket 315 by coupler provided at opposite ends thereof.
  • the couplers may be integrated with the basket 315.
  • the couplers may have a separable structure, to change coupling positions thereof in accordance with the size of an item to be stored in the basket 315.
  • Separable coupling of the couplers may be implemented in various manners using, for example, a forcible fitting method, a latching structure, and other arrangements as appropriate. In the illustrated embodiment, separable coupling of the couplers is achieved using a sliding engagement between the partition plate 320 and the basket 315.
  • the first coupler 305a of FIG. 11 and the second coupler 325b of FIG. 12 which have a protrusion shape, may have engagement protrusions 306a and 306b at respective ends thereof.
  • the engagement protrusions 306a and 306b may maintain coupling thereof with the grooves 325a and 305b without being separated from the grooves 325a and 305b, respectively, even when force is laterally applied thereto.
  • the groove shape of the second coupler 325a may be wider at an inside thereof than at an entrance thereof, to correspond to the shape of the engagement protrusion 306a.
  • the first coupler 305b may also be wider at an inside thereof than at an entrance thereof, to receive the engagement protrusion 306b of the second coupler 325b.
  • first couplers 305a and 305b may be provided, spaced apart from one another by a certain distance, at a given end of the basket 315 so as to change the coupling position of the partition plate 320, if necessary.
  • the first couplers 305a and 305b may be formed at opposite end surfaces of the basket 315, respectively, such that the partition plate 320 may be arranged in parallel with the door 20.
  • the first couplers 305a and 305b may instead be formed at front and rear surfaces of the basket 315, respectively.
  • Storage areas of the baskets may be easily accessed by simply separating the baskets.
  • the separated baskets may be subsequently stably coupled to the refrigerator.
  • utility of the baskets attached to the refrigerator door may be enhanced.
  • a refrigerator is provided that is capable of providing easy access to an inner one of a plurality of baskets, which are arranged in horizontally-overlapping double layers, thereby achieving an enhancement in utility of the baskets.
  • the locker may include a lever pivotally coupled, at one end thereof, to the basket frame by a hinge such that the lever pivots about the hinge, and a hook coupled, at one end thereof, to the lever such that the other end of the lever is engaged with or disengaged from the door in accordance with the pivotal movement of the lever.
  • the holder may include a first magnet provided at a lower surface of a bottom of the first basket, and a second magnet provided at the upper surface of the first door rack, to be coupled with the first magnet in accordance with attractive force of the first magnet.
  • any reference in this specification to "one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “example embodiment,” etc. means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention.
  • the appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
